03 Black Hawk

Chapter 3 Black Hawk Jack stared at a circle of teepees ahead. Busy people in buckskins moved about the circle. Horses and ponies grazed nearby. Jack took out their research book and found a picture of the teepees. He read, In the early 1800s many different Native American tribes lived on the Great Plains.

第三章 黑鹰 杰克盯着前方围成一圈的圆锥形帐篷。 穿着鹿皮衣的人们在圈子里忙来忙去，大大小小的马儿在附近吃草。 杰克拿出他们的研究手册，找到一张圆锥形帐篷的图片，读道： 19世纪初，大平原上居住着许多不同的美洲原住民部落。

largest tribe. They lived mostly in the areas we now call North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Jack pulled out his notebook and wrote, early 1800s, Lakota were largest tribe of Great Plains. Behind Jack and Annie a horse kneed. They turned. A horse and rider were heading toward the TP camp.

拉科塔族是最大的部落，他们大多居住在我们现在称作北达科他州、南达科他州和明尼苏达州的区域。 杰克掏出笔记本写下：19世纪初，拉科塔族是大平原上最大的部落。 杰克和安妮身后有匹马嘶叫了一声，他们转过身，看见一人一马正朝着圆锥形帐篷营地走去。

The sun was very bright behind the rider. Jack could only see the outline of a body with a bow and a quiver of arrows on his back.

骑手身后的阳光格外刺眼，杰克只能看见一个身影的轮廓，那人背上背着弓和一筒箭。

Jack quickly flipped through the book. He found a picture of a man on horseback carrying a bow and arrows. Below the picture it said, Lakota Warrior. Jack read, Everything changed for the Native Americans of the Great Plains after white settlers arrived in the mid -1800s. Fighting broke out between Lakota warriors and white soldiers. By the end of the 1800s, the Lakota were defeated. They lost both their land and their old way of life. Jack looked back at the rider. The warrior was coming closer. Get down! He whispered. Why? said Annie. This might be a time when the Indians...

杰克飞快地翻着书，找到了一张骑马男子背着弓箭的图片。 图片下方写着：拉科塔族战士。 杰克读道： 19世纪中期白人定居者到来后，大平原上美洲原住民的一切都变了。 拉科塔族战士和白人士兵之间爆发了战争。 到19世纪末，拉科塔族战败，他们失去了自己的土地，也失去了旧有的生活方式。 杰克回头看向骑手，那名战士正越走越近。 快趴下！他小声说。 为什么呀？安妮问，现在说不定是印第安人……

are fighting with the settlers," said Jack. The grass rustled as the warrior passed by them. His horse neighed again. "'Arf, arf! Shh!' whispered Jack. But it was too late. The warrior had heard Teddy's barking. He galloped toward them, grabbing his bow. "'Wait!' shouted Jack. He jumped up from the grass. "'We come in peace!' The rider halted. Now Jack saw that he was only a boy on a pony. He couldn't have been more than ten or eleven. "'Hey, you're just a kid!' Annie said, smiling. The boy didn't smile back, but he did lower his bow while he stared at Annie.

正在和定居者打仗的时候，杰克说。 战士骑马经过他们身边时，草叶沙沙作响。 他的马又嘶叫了一声。 “汪！汪！” “嘘！” 杰克小声说。 可是已经晚了。 战士已经听见了泰迪的叫声。 他一把抓起弓，骑着马朝他们冲过来。 “等等！” 杰克大喊。 他从草丛里跳了起来。 “我们没有恶意！” 骑手停了下来。 这时杰克才看清，对方只是个骑小马的男孩。 他最多也就十岁或者十一岁。 “嘿，你原来只是个小朋友呀！” 安妮笑着说。 男孩没有回笑，不过他盯着安妮的时候，确实把弓放低了。

What's your name? She asked Blackhawk he said Cool name said Annie. We're Jack and Annie. We're just visiting. We live in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania Blackhawk nodded then he turned his pony around and started toward the Lakota camp Hey, can we come with you called Annie? Blackhawk looked back Yes, he said meet my people you mean your parents Asked Annie no, they died long ago said Blackhawk. I live with my grandmother. Oh I'd like to meet your grandmother said Annie. I'm going to see my grandmother today, too

你叫什么名字呀？她问。 黑鹰。他说。 这名字好酷呀，安妮说，我们是杰克和安妮，就是来游玩的，住在宾夕法尼亚州的青蛙溪。 黑鹰点了点头，然后掉转小马的方向，朝拉科塔族的营地走去。 嘿，我们能跟你一起去吗？安妮喊道。 黑鹰回头看了看。 可以，他说，去见见我的族人。你是说你的爸爸妈妈吗？ 安妮问。不，他们很早就去世了，黑鹰说，我和奶奶一起住。哦。 我很想见见你奶奶，安妮说，我今天也打算去看我奶奶呢。
